At just nine years old, Oakes Fegley has already bagged more stage and screen roles than many actors twice his age.

Recognisable to some for his reoccurring role as the young Eli Thompson in HBO's Broadwalk Empire, Fegley sanpped up his first big stage part in 2009, playing Tiny Tim in a production of A Christmas Carol in his hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Since then the young actor has appeared in war drama Fort Bliss and Indie feature This Is Where I Leave You (alongside Tina Fey and Jason Bateman). However his big break comes in the form of Pete's Dragon, Disney’s remake of the 1970s children's classic in which he plays the lead next to Robert Redford, set for release next year.
